Well, that was a shot in the dark because you haven't really given us 
much basic information... like the version of Asterisk you are using, 
for example.

Let's start with that... tell us what version you are using, and we'll 
be able to tell you how to maximize the amount of debugging information 
emitted to your console, so you can get some clue as to what is happening.

As far as the comment about the source being protocol documentation: 
that is *not* your issue. I was referring to the addition of new 
information elements in my response, which should be documented before 
they are added to a release of Asterisk (in my opinion, at least). 
However, even if they are not, addition of new information elements 
would never make Asterisk non-backwards-compatible with any existing 
IAX2 implementation (except in rare cases, which are always fully 
documented), and any proper implementation should be able to cope with 
receiving (and ignoring) information elements it does not understand.
